IRCT20250930067436N1 IRCT 2026-01-25 The University of Kashan Selected Corrective Exercises and Their Impact on Posture The Effect of Selected Corrective Exercises on Postural Indices in Myopic Individuals with Upper Crossed Syndrome 2026-04-04 anticipated 32 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/86660 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Other design features: The distinctive aspect of this study lies in its focus on myopic individuals diagnosed with upper crossed syndrome and the implementation of a selected corrective exercise program designed according to specific postural indicators, namely forward head angle and rounded shoulder degree. Furthermore, to minimize potential participant attrition during the intervention period, the final sample size was increased from 28 to 32 participants.This quasi-experimental design enables a direct comparison of the effects of corrective exercises with a control group and facilitates the evaluation of pre- and post-intervention changes, thereby providing insight into the efficacy of corrective exercises in improving postural alignment among myopic individuals with upper crossed syndrome, Randomization description: To allocate participants to the experimental and control groups, simple randomization with an individual unit was used. Each participant was assigned a unique identification number, and the random sequence was generated using SPSS software. The first 16 numbers were assigned to the experimental group, and the next 16 numbers to the control group. To prevent bias, the allocation sequence was placed in sealed envelopes, so that neither the researcher nor the participants were aware of the group assignment until the time of allocation. Stratified randomization was not used in this study because the baseline characteristics of the participants were homogeneous, Blinding description: This study is a randomized controlled clinical trial with a pretest–posttest design. Eligible participants were enrolled after obtaining written informed consent and were randomly allocated to the intervention and control groups. Due to the nature of the exercise-based intervention, full blinding was not feasible. However, the outcome assessor was blinded to group allocation, and participants were not informed about the study hypothesis or their group assignment. All participants received a full explanation of the study objectives and procedures and provided written informed consent prior to participation. N/A Upper Crossed Syndrome. The program includes a combination of stretching, strengthening, and postural correction exercises.. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: The shared dataset will include de-identified individual participant data after removal of all direct and indirect identifiers. Data eligible for sharing will comprise key demographic variables, primary and secondary outcome measures, and variables used in the main statistical analyses. Raw data containing identifiable information, complete medical records, or participant contact details will not be shared. When: Data will be available starting 6 months after publication of the primary study results and will remain accessible for a period of 5 years. To whom: Access may be granted to qualified researchers affiliated with academic institutions, research centers, or recognized scientific organizations. Requests from industry researchers may also be considered upon submission of a scientifically sound research proposal and approval by the relevant review committee. Conditions: The data may be used solely for scientific research purposes, including secondary analyses. Applicants must submit a clear research proposal and sign a data use agreement committing to ethical use and non-attempt of participant re-identification. Commercial use, data redistribution, or any use beyond the approved scope is not permitted. Where to obtain: Requests for data access should be submitted by contacting the corresponding investigator of the study via email. If required, requests will be forwarded to the relevant scientific or ethics committee for review. How to obtain: Upon receipt of a request, the research proposal will be reviewed by the study team. If necessary, the request will be evaluated by the relevant scientific or ethics committee. Following final approval and signing of a data use agreement, the data will be shared through a secure method. This process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. Comments:
